My best friend was a Navy Radio Operator in Vietnam.
He has some interesting stories about being on the smaller support craft which is almost absent from the official records. You can read all you like about Destroyers, Aircraft Carriers and Air Support, but if you were on a boat that can go up river it's almost absent from the record. Of course the Aussies were officially not to be involved in marine or seal type activities apparently, but what were they going to do sit in a river delta and watch the war go by?
Did you hate the biscuits?
